Kalamy

About

Kalamy is a desktop AI writing tool. Not a browser extension. Not a web app. It watches your clipboard system-wide and responds the moment you double-copy. How it works: Select any text in any app. Press Cmd+C twice (or Ctrl+C on Windows). A popup appears with 7 actions — fix grammar, rephrase, shorten, change tone, translate, or explain. Pick one, copy the result back. Done. No browser extension. No separate editor. No account signup. It lives in your menu bar and works everywhere you type — Gmail, Slack, Notion, VS Code, Word, Figma, literally any app with selectable text. Seven actions, one shortcut: - Improve — fix grammar and clarity - Rephrase — reword while keeping meaning - Shorten — compress to essentials - Formal / Friendly — shift tone - Translate — 14 languages, always free (works locally, no server needed) - Explain — instant explanation of any text What it costs: $5/month for Pro. 14-day trial. No signup required — download and start using it immediately. Basic translation is completely free forever. What it does NOT do (being honest): Kalamy does not offer real-time inline suggestions as you type (like Grammarly's red underlines). It is on-demand — you trigger it when you want it. It is also not on the Mac App Store yet (direct download from kalamy.app). And it is built by one person (me), so it does not have team/enterprise features. I would love your feedback. What would make this useful for you? What actions are missing?
